The event was hosted by the Johnson City Partners and featured live entertainment by The Penn Dixie Band, The Vertical Focus Steel Drum Band and The Stoutmen, an Irish folk band.

Julie Deemie, president of The Johnson City Partners, said Carousel Day is an important event for the community.

"Its a gathering place [for] neighbors, friends. You can come back home again and feel that community spirit and it's just a pride-building community event," Deemie said. "So, it's all just positive for the community."

The event featured 12 vendors who displayed arts and crafts and artisan work. It also had food and pony rides for children.

Karisma Church said she's happy the Johnson City Partners have this day for the community.

"It's nice for the kids to have something to do, and the parents," Church said. "Let them [the kids] run around a little bit."
